Description
Ishpeming - Just now the northern peninsula is reaping the fruit of the boom in railroad construction, which is unprecented in the history of that section. The corps for the survey of the line for the proposed DSS&A comprises upwards of 300 enginers, chain men, etc., to say nothing of the hordes of sappers proceeding them and following in their wake.
